DRIVE WITH FRED - AUTO & MOTORCYCLE REVIEWS
США
Добавлен 19 сен 2017
Welcome to my car and motorcycle review channel. I'm Freddy Sherman, gearhead, biker and automotive editor for Business Traveler USA magazine. I have a chance to drive over 200 new cars and motorcycles each year to review for the magazine. You're gonna see detailed, unbiased reviews here, I get the cars or bikes for a few weeks and really have a chance to check them out. I drive them around town (I live in LA and Palm Springs) and also take them on weekend getaways around Southern California and the western US.
HERE'S WHY YOU NEED A SPECIALIST BODY SHOP FOR YOUR CLASSIC CAR
If you're like me and you own a classic car or muscle car and that car gets in an accident or is damaged, you need a specialist body shop.
I took my 1968 Pontiac Firebird to Arcaro's Body Shop in Palm Springs, CA after it got hit in the rear end in a parking lot. A few people recommended them, including the insurance adjuster. Arcaro's Body Shop has extensive experience with classic cars and muscle cars. The owner formerly had my exact car, a 1968 Firebird and the body guy who worked on it also had owned a Firebird and a 1967 Camaro. If you have a special car, you need serious professionals with a lot of experience to get it fized right. I will post another video of the process of getting ...

Titan Car Cover from Amazon - Quick Review
Просмотров 1136 месяцев назад
My 1968 Firebird is stored outside, in a covered carport in the hot desert of Palm Springs. Although it's not in the sunlight, there is a lot of heat, dust and wind which takes its toll on both cars and car covers. I ordered a Titan car cover from Newquest Brands on Amazon first in 2022, paying $62.95. That car cover lasted about 20 months in the Palm Springs environment I described above. The ...

Here is a crazy drive on LA's famed Mulholland Drive in the 2023 Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition Coupe. The 2023 Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition Coupe pays tribute to Aston Martin's return to Formula One racing. The car is also more track-focused than the standard Vantage with special tuning, lighter weight and a bit more power. On the curvy mountain road like Mulholland Drive, it's just thrill...

2023 BMW M340i xDrive REVIEW - Much More Usable Than an M3
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Год назад
Here is my full review, tour and road test of the 2023 BMW M340i xDrive sedan. The M340i is kind of a less hardcore M3, with the same 3.0 liter inline 6 cylinder TwinPower turbo engine. It has a more comfortable ride and interior yet can still be hardcore when you put it in the Sport Plus setting. This 2023 BMW M340i xDrive (xDrive means it has all-wheel-drive) had the Shadowline package: bold,...
2022 TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE rented from BUDGET - REAL WORLD REVIEW

When my trusty Prius needed to go in for service (water pump) and I needed to drive from Palm Springs to LA, I had to rent a car. Budget at PSP had some good deals to rent a Tesla ($56 a day before taxes and fees) so I rented a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range. This has dual motors, AWD and a range of about 333 miles on a full charge. Here is my full review of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range from Bud...

I've been spending a fun week riding the 2023 Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage Classic, a motorcycle I rented from EagleRider. The 2023 Heritage Classic is a very cool version of the Softail, this one has a removable windshield and weatherproof (removable) saddlebags. This one also had the big passenger seat and seatback. The 2023 Harley Heritage Classic has a big 114 cubic inch motor and it's ...

As a car writer and reviewer, I have the chance to drive a lot of cars. Some really stick with me, like this 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Carbon 65. The Carbon 65 was a special, limited edition (only 650 units worldwide) of the Vette, celebrating its 65th anniversary. With a lowered ride height, track exhaust, racing slick "summer tires" and a 7-speed manual transmission, it was like dri...

As part of my Lexus LX SUV review, I took the 2022 Lexus LX 600 F SPORT offroading in the desert outside Palm Springs. The Lexus LX 600 F SPORT may be sporty with the F SPORT trim and handling, but it's a very capable SUV with full-time four-wheel-drive with an electronic locking center differential and a Torsen limited slip differential. It also has an electronic power steering system, no more...
8 MINUTE HARLEY RIDE ON THE 405 FREEWAY (GoPro / 2014 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo)
Просмотров 50Год назад
Found this video of me riding down the 405 freeway on a 2014 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy Lo. As a shorter rider, I love this bike as it's so low (only 24.3 inch seat height) and easy to ride. It's also fast and powerful, the Harley Fat Boy features an air-cooled Twin Cam 103 Harley engine with 6 speed cruise drive transmission, providing more power for passing, hill-climbing, and riding with a pass...

I had fun riding the 2023 BMW R 18 Pure with its open drive shaft. Here is three minutes of the open, nickel-plated driveshaft in its double-cradle frame. It's very cool the driveshaft is exposed, it shows you the power of the bike at all times. The 1,802 cc two-cylinder boxer engine of the BMW R 18 is the highest displacement boxer that BMW has ever built. It delivers a maximum torque of 116 l...
2017 LEXUS RC F - JAPANESE MUSTANG GT - COOL DRIVING DRONE SHOTS

I found some cool drone shots I filmed of the 2017 Lexus RC F. I love the RC F, I think it's like a Japanese muscle car, like a Japanese Mustang GT. With almost 500 horsepower coming front a V8 engine, rear wheel drive, it's a blast to drive. I took the 2017 Lexus RC F on a 1,500 mile road trip to San Francisco and back and it was a lot of fun. Very comfortable for the long road trip drives, ye...

I spent a few painful days with the limited edition 2023 BMW M4 CSL Coupe. This hardcore, track version of the M4 has no rear seat, lightweight construction and rigid carbon fiber sport seats that do not tilt or recline, they only move laterally. It is 240 pounds lighter than the BMW M4 Competition and has its engine tuned to give you 543 thrilling horsepower. This video shows you a quick look ...

DID YOU KNOW BMW MAKES A $200K ULTRA LUXE SUV? CHECK OUT THE 2021 BMW ALPINA XB7
would it be worth it to buy one of these with a 3.5l v8 with 60k miles for 18k its a 2014
You think it’s worth buying a 2014 Maserati quattroporte GTS it has 110k miles nd they want 13k for it is it worth???
Not at all
Like to see the inner side of that 1/4 panel & tail pan area.............
What is the tail pan? I am making another video and I did take pics inside the 1/4 panel. It looked original. The guy did some great work. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman Tail panel where it was all pulled out..looks great from outside pics!! How does the inside of those panels look?
@@jct300m I will post pics in the next video. They all have the interior interior finish with that splatter paint and he preserved it.
Hey, thanks for the review. I'm in a position where I'm looking at a 2018 lacrosse premium hybrid, with a little over 50k miles. I'm scared about going to a hybrid, in terms of problems, reliability and if the battery/motor fails... Thoughts? I currently drive a 2011 lacrosse CXL 2.4l fwd.
Well, I have no knowledge or experience other than this test drive and I don't think this was a hybrid. I would first go by your experience with your current Buick, how is the reliability, build quality and service situation? Then I would research the reliability and specific issues and failures online to see if that year / model is known for having specific problems. Last is the warranty, I would only buy one with some kind of warranty, either through Buick pre-owned or certified or an aftermarket one. That way if you do have a catastrophic failure, you would not be at a total loss. Thanks and please subscribe, I am pushing to get 500 subscribers and am almost there!!
Are you going to get new rims for the Firebird?
Those are the original Rally II wheels, why do you ask about new ones? I will be doing a few more videos, but am most likely selling it to a friend when the body work is finished.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman I guess just to freshen up the look but that will def take away from the original equipment.
@@loudmouthnewyorker2803 Personally, I'm not a big fan of aftermarket rims. If anything, I would pay to have these totally refurbished / restored / refreshed to try to retain the most original look possible.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman That's a great idea.
I love when you do videos about your Firebird. I really love that gold color I don’t think I’ve ever seen another one like that
Thank you. It's a newer paint job, but the color is the original April Gold it originally came in.
Does the car come with a charging cable for 110 or 220?
TBH, I did not check or go into the trunk. I only used the Tesla official charging station with its own cable. I would think Budget can tell you what their car comes with if you are renting. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!!
Rented with Budget last week and they said they remove them from all their EVs.
@@pinoyclass Good to know, thank you. I wonder if you can request them before rental or at the counter?
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman I asked the exit gate person and they didn’t seem to know if it could be provided.
@@pinoyclass I think you would either ask someone at the rental counter or call their customer service phone line. The only thing I found online is that there should be an adapter in the trunk for a non-Tesla charger, but that is not a plug-in cable for 110 or 220. "PLUGGING IN: Use the adapter, which can be found in the trunk." www.avis.com/content/dam/avis/na/us/common/pdf-files/avis-tesla-trifold-brochure-r3.pdf
Beautiful Maserati 🇮🇹👌🏻
nice
It's just the Firebird asking for attention. She sees you riding that motorcycle so much, she's just jealous.
I really need to sell it, I just don't drive it enough.

Is it possible to get 5 seats and the console like in the ghost
Well you can either get the console or a third seat in the middle, but not both. It's like the Ghost in that sense, you have the option for 4 seats or 5 seats. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman does the console make a big difference
@@Tkpanda240 I guess it's all personal perference and what you want to use it for. I think it's a lot more luxurious with the console and only two seats in back, but it does make it less practical.
What a great car, this can smoke a lot of big SUVs, fantastic review Sir, hooooo, that's great
Hello! I had a question that maybe you could answer, I’m renting the same Tesla here in a couple weeks, how does Budget charge you for the supercharger usage? Is there any fees? Thanks!
lexus is da best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no nissan pls
Look like Gustavo was getting a kick outta your driving. Looks like someone's hat took a back seat too!
Gustavo!!
Fast 🚗
*Promosm* 😏
Sleek and elegant. Very nice.
Made in red china. Not for me.
Interesting when you think of Buick as such an American car brand! Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
Delivered in a cardboard trailer and then letting the world know you bought the base model without actually saying it, “The only way to get into the vehicle was through the trunk” everyone knows only the standard Cullinan allows you to enter through the trunk. Love the car and color but the attempted flex by the commentator was a fail…
Hard to flex when you're an auto writer driving a loaner from Rolls-Royce my friend. The only thing I bought was my 2016 Prius. Thanks for watching and please subscribe for more flex-free videos.
I own this great driving 2023 BMW M340i xDrive. I love driving this car very much, it is a fun car to drive. But ... I hate the new controls on this car as everything you must do is thru the center screen, and I mean everything. This is very dangerous as the driver must take their eyes off the road to change or do whatever they need to do and as every control is layers deep it takes time and long effort to do the changes. Whoever designed this horrible and dangerous system should be fired. BMW must change this terrible and unfriendly dangerous system ASAP. I made a mistake buying this car. If you are thinking about buying this model car do yourself a huge favor and check these very dangerous shortcomings BEFORE you buy it. You can thank me later.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! Are you talking about climate control and radio functions? Please subscribe to my channel!
Still better controls than the teslas….which are selling by what seems like the millions
Is it really that bad? I'm looking into buying this car. And if it's as bad as you make it sounds. It might be annoying to use. Is there no shortcut you can set to reach the functional you want quicker?
@@metalstorm45 iDrive lets you setup shortcuts for functions you want to get to quickly. I only had about 5 minutes messing around with it at the dealer so I'm not sure what all it can or can't do. Like with my Tesla, you have to ask yourself what are you going to be reaching for the screen or the idrive knob frequently to adjust while driving? Climate? That's fast and easy.
Love the beard again. Aston Martin virgin no more.
Thank you! Getting it trimmed Wednesday and shooting some stuff at Four Seasons LA on Thursday!
Luxury FredBond 007
Yes!!!
Love the red color, what a nice little car!
Thank you, it's a very capable sports sedan!
WOW, I had no idea that Electric cars (Tesla’s) could be rented from Budget. Thanks for the review/information.
Yes, they have a bunch of different models here in Palm Springs, including EVs from other companies. It was even cheaper than some of the other rental car options. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel.
Looking good sir.
Feeling good sir.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman Hmmmm, are we trading places?
supERviE 🕶
Merci and thank you! Please subscribe to my channel!
Hey AutoPilot look at the size of that screen! That thing is massive. 20 minutes on the supercharger is pretty fast. Perfect for Palm Springs where it's warm and dry. All the flooding in NYC and the East Coast can be disastrous if water gets into the battery. Have you seen some of them videos?
I have not but that makes sense. I don't think I would own an EV, i like having the gas option. What if the power grid went down for a week, what would EV drivers do?
How much?
Base price for 2023 Long Range Model 3 is $47,240 or with lease payments about $450 a month (this was a 2022 so slightly less).
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman I meant how much for the rental!
@@jasminespencer3992 With prepayment discount, it was $56 a day, which after PSP airport taxes and fees is $80 a day. That is with no extra insurance or coverage.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman Heck, that's not bad for just the thrill of driving the state-of-the-art vehicle. Probably nice to have one for a 2-day trip from Miami to Key West and back.
Funny you pulled into the parking lot at the end with all them doughnut marks on the pavement. I was hoping you'd cut some too.
Come on, I can barely control that beast! It's at the limit of my ability due to seat height and overall weight. I don't like it as I really can't back it up myself without getting off, even on flat ground.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman I hear ya Freddy
Does lexus have a manual option
Not for the RX. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
Very beautiful ❤😊
Thank you!
It’s amazing that car is now five years old.
This video was from 2018, it might look thrashed today!
Wait one second, an American car? Has Freddy gone patriotic on us. Both feet and both hands, sounds like you were swimming.
I love them all!! I've done a lot with Chevy, Cadillac and Buick over the years. GMC too.
Man o Man, that's one big SUV. Glad Gretel enjoyed the luxe ride too.
Thank you, it was fun!! We're headed to LA again tomorrow.
Hey that's me.
Looks like you're heading to the Santa Monica Pier.
Almost! I was heading to friend's place at 12th and Montana.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman Grab a corn dog and wave at the ocean for me.
It’s like watching chips
I am Ponch.
When your sneakers match the motorcycle I know you mean business.
Stylish yet very unsafe. I usually never ride with anything with laces. If they come loose and get stuck in driveshaft or chain it can be bye-bye foot. But thank you.
I like the driving shoes
Thanks but as I wrote above, you (and I) should always wear proper riding boots.
@@DriveWithFred_FreddySherman HAHAHA, everyone knows you're a fashionista Freddy!
I LOVE THIS. Want more subs? -> ᑭяỖmo𝓼𝐦!!
Very overlooked car
I agree, I loved driving it. And I loved how you don't see one at every stoplight like BMWAUDIMBZs.
Yep with a lot of Chrysler parts
@@The_North0 so pls don’t buy Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, there’s plenty of VW parts around, don’t buy Lexus, they’re just upgraded Toyotas, don’t buy Aston Martin, their V12 is 2 V6 Mondeo Ford engines, don’t buy Jags or Volvos, they still use the Ford derived 2.0 turbo engine and so on…

All you need now is Brie Larson to drive it with you and make a commercial.
